"A prologue" - Manuscript of Gallup C23

Page 115 verso has note: "Extra Expense for Christmas Cover", "Prologue, Ezra Pound, 126 Greenwich Ave., New York City", "50.00", "for Christmas 1910 cover", "10/31/10"; on p. 111 recto "Printed copy of this to follow". "A Prologue" was reprinted in Canzoni (Gallup A7), 1911, p. 34 (with an additional four lines added at the end). A letter from Pound to Elkin Mathews, E.P.C. 65, refers to four lines to be added to "A Prologue" and it appears probable that this manuscript came through Elkin Mathews as well.
